Application and short description

The MSF 220 V is particularly suitable for the temperature monitoring at dry transformers.
3 PTC-circuits with different nominal response temperatures (NRT) can be connected to this
unit, one for controlling a fan (forced cooling) and two for alarms.
Each PTC-circuit is monitored for break and short circuit.
This reduces the probability of false alarms.

Overview of functions and connection plan

3 PTC-circuits
MSF 220 VU for universal supply voltage AC/DC 24-240 V
intelligent control of fan (relay K0, 1 normally-open contact)

Signals also error in any sensor and interruption of supply voltage.
ALARM 2 in operation current mode (relay K2, 1 changeover contact). No signal when
switching on and off the supply voltage.
all output relays potentially separated from each other.
monitoring of sensor lines
TEST-button (stop possible before ALARM 2)
Simply test function, sensor monitoring can be disengaged (for 10 minutes)
LEDs for ON, sensor error, Fan, ALARM 1 and ALARM 2
plug-in terminals
housing for mounting on DIN-rail or wall-mount
mounting height 55 mm

Detailed description
The PTC-relay MSF 220 V has been designed for monitoring the temperature of drytransformers.

Each PTC-circuit is monitored for break and short circuit. This reduces the probability of false

Assembly
Mount on 35 mm mounting rail EN 60715 or
Wall mounting with screws M4

Putting into operation

Connect wires as per connection plan
DANGER!
Hazardous voltage!
Will cause death or serious injury. Turn off and lock out all power
supplying this device before working on this device.

When installing the device into the switch-gear cabinet, please observe the max.
admissible temperature. Care for both, sufficient clearance to other devices or
sources of heat or enough forced draught.

Attention!
Before switching on make sure that the supply voltage Us of the
type plate and the mains voltage are the same!

Apply mains voltage to terminals, AC to A1 and A2 (DC A1=+, A2=-).

When device is ready for operation, relays K1 picks up (contact 11-14 closes), the green
LED "ON" is alight.

In case of failure of supply voltage, the monitored unit is not protected

any more. The operator must ensure, that a failure is detected, e.g. by
monitoring Alarm 1 (K1) or by testing the unit regularly.

Even if no temperature warning is monitored with alarm 1, the function of the relay K1 has to
be evaluated, otherwise the monitoring can fail unnoticed (missing supply- voltage,
equipment failure etc.). When no sensor is connected to T/T1, a resistor (1001000)
must be mounted.

Trouble shooting

LED "ON" is not alight

Make sure that supply voltage is connected correctly (+/-) to terminals A1/A2 and is
the same as on the type plate
LEDs FAN, ALARM 1 or ALARM 2 flash, LED SENSOR light up and relay K1 doesnt
pick up:
Check the PTC-sensors. Make sure they are connected correctly to T0, T1 and T2. All
PTC must have a low resistance (pay attention to monitoring sensor-break and shortcircuit; when using without fan a resistor 100 ... 1000 ohm in T/T0 is required)
Testing the outputs can easily be realized by using the test-button (keep pressed). If
no PTC resistors are connected, the relay K1 always signals an alarm
For testing the PTC-input, the resistance has to be increased slowly, i.e. by means of
a potentiometer (app. 10 k). Rapid changes may be detected as sensor-error.
During normal operation testing the function with a short circuit in the sensorinput and/or by disconnecting the sensors (interrupt) is not possible. Any
manipulation will result in detecting a sensor-error (K1 releases and a sensor-error is
displayed, K0 and K2 do not switch)
Test with interrupt and short circuit at the sensor-inputs is possible in test
function 2. Press Reset/Test-button until LED "ON" flashes rhythmically (approx. 15
s). The device will return to normal operation when pressing Set/Reset or
automatically after 15 minutes.

Attention! Check PTCs only with measuring voltages < 2.5 V.

In case of any other malfunctions, replace device and send it in together with a
description of the occurred problem.
